ACOT Message Board

Not long ago I saw where Vicki R said that you could sort your pages into separate albums.  I decided to do this with all 43 pages, it has taken a couple months but finally just finished.  This is going to be such a BIG help as going through I realized that I have scrapped some photos 2-3 times!!!  Now I can just go check by subject to see if I have already done them. Thank you so much for this tip Vicki.  On a side note.... it is such a sweet memory walk to do this and make your really see how blessed your life is.  I highly recommend this process. 

What themes did you choose for your albums?

I actually sorted them into 80 different subjects. The gallery does not limit how many you can make so I made them VERY specific so I can very easily find what I am looking for. Examples" Christmas, Pool/Beach, Wrestling, Marching Band, Charleston, Baseball, Home etc.... This will really help me not to scrap things more than once.

That's awesome Kristin!  Good that you got it organized and can easily access all of your LOs and projects now.  I even have an album for birthday and holiday greetings that I post in the forum.  Saves so much time.

Great!
I scrapbook chronologically and was wondering how ladies keep track of pictures if scrapping randomly:)

I keep a check list and Google photos organized my photos for me so that helps a lot! What a sense of accomplishment you must feel! Woot woot!

I only have 3 albums completed and I go through them every once in a while for inspo. I cry almost every time  

How do you sort them in the gallery! I guess I missed Vicki’s post! That’s very cool! I would love to figure this out! 
and congrats to you!!! That’s fantastic!

That's a great idea too. This is truly a lifesaver.

There's a box when you go to enter a layout that says album name. You type in what you want and save it there. If the layout is already in the gallery, you will have to hit edit first to be able to add it to an album. This is truly a game changer.

I still have a bit of sorting to do with my physical albums but having my gallery sorted is giving to help sooooo much.

Very cool, Kristin! I love going through my album folder but haven't separated mine into specifics. I will give this a try sometime! It sure is great to see all those members! 
 

Oh that's great!  Not sure if I'll ever be organized the way I would like it.  A work in progress.

Great idea!!! Will be working on that, lol.

That is a great idea.  Thanks for letting us know.  I will,have to work on that.
